happiness for everyone. human payments are very different from primates, and we have a totally ridiculous romanticized view nature. and david and this is climate change prejudice who happiness improve books, you'll get smarter for free d w books on a me, me, me. i think there's a world market for maybe 5 computers. that's what i, b m chairman thomas j watson is meant to said back in 1943, a good example of how bad we can be at predicting the future. and that includes the inventions that have the potential to transform how we live and work this week on

made. we're looking at the innovation economy. well, you can have the best idea in the world, but if you can't capture people's imaginations, that amazing invention of yours will never see the light of day. you need funding to get that. you need investors, as you have to be convincing, they're the ones you have to win over 1st well before the consumer. the other thing is that the investors have to believe they are going to get their money back from you and make a return. hopefully a big one. it's risky business, but no pain, no gain. and the rules haven't changed even in this pandemic. or maybe you could say covered 19 with the appetite for some real risk taking aah and life saving vaccine. and a huge money maker. early investors in the german company by on tech announce fitting per se one of them was acting on behalf of a venture capital fund. wanted to come up. we put in 13 and a half 1000000,

and this got our shareholders of return of 600000000. and that's not the end of it . so if you had to have an uncommon that's more than a 44 phone return on the investment. it's a success story that could help other companies attract, venture capital. will it make financing innovation easier? ah, this woman knows how hard it can be to find investors. she's pleased by on tech years a f like every success helps the industry and the start up seeing his her own starts up links, patients and doctors, but isn't turning a profit yet happy ties where the finding capital is key when starting up a company. when it's especially right at the very beginning, you start with seed funding. that's the 1st financial support, the early funding stage as the business idea exists and maybe a small product to an option kind of product. this is followed by other funding

stages. a start time should have time to grow before it has to turn a profit. i did. anyone who has money can give it. it's the employees of big venture capital funds, who are on the lookout for ideas with big potential. isn't interesting for us when a company thinks about where it will be in 10 years and what we'll have to do by then to change the world rather than where it is now and what it's gonna do next year. this man has that kind of long term vision and play us back money is a biochemist and an investor. he's driving this for every new promising approach. he sets up a company i think in total i set up 15 companies and one of his companies market devices like this. it's designed to find biomarkers within 20 minutes. that indicates where the septic shock is imminent. another is researching

a medication that seeks to harness an antibody to stop the vascular leakage and prevent septic shock. it's about to go into clinical testing. but phase 3 study is expensive. how can hind, the company's chief business officer faces the challenge of raising 18000000 euros? can she do it? in a lot of time, we have to be transparent about where we are headed. what are the risks that i have the opportunity to put him in the area of septic shy patient numbers is sky high. we're talking about 500000 patients in the u. s. senior each year. big crazy figures on to doesn't that which is a time. nevertheless, it's still hard to attract 18000000 euros of venture capital, especially in germany. it is equal the edge of this one guy who has venture capital

funds are much more willing to take risks than european ones. so they have billions at their disposal. whereas the european funds might have 50000000 or 120000000 much to me on my own. that's 161. meg. yes, fairly need more money. and above all, more people in wealthy countries who are prepared to invest a small portion of the money into something like that. i just think in germany alone, private households have savings with 6000000 euro vicks. how does that mean that they're a big risk attached? if the company isn't to success, the money is ah, by own tech is an exception to that rule. again, the company made losses, but investors were prepared to keep injecting fresh capital even well before the corona virus pandemic. the founders with tirelessly trying to develop that at the

time. unproven therapeutic approach. you can see me sort of a way to really have clearly defined work. and at times i see it as a privilege that we are able to live our dream in the, in the context of even worse champagne and his life is lame, chilled i g. the team behind the by on tech, co vaccine have migrant backgrounds like one in 5 company founders in germany. the same goes for sophie chung to, according to the germans startups association. these founders get less capital on average, feeler cleaned them. it because many founders with immigrant backgrounds who i know personally and i include myself, we've managed to turn the sense of being different or being treated differently into something positive for me personally. it spurred me on to prove myself to say, i'll show you and then we'll be back to one mix of revising. and it takes many innovations are still out there waiting on hard drives,

or in the bar at trace. and many entrepreneurs, the eager to prove themselves, but only when they find investors will their ideas be able to bear fruit and ultimately bring return otherwise, it's down the drain, springs me to one innovation that most of us have been sitting on for almost every day of our lives the humble toilet. it's an invention. so convenient, progressive, and transformative that we've dedicated a whole segment to it is our reporter caffeine, solomon, on the history of sanitation, me, penicillin, vaccines, organ transplants. all these innovations are rightfully hailed of medical milestones. but if you ask me another invention, we don't really talk about in these terms more than deserves to be held in the same regard. for both speaking about the poet. ah,

you should give a crap about your crap or because it has a huge impact on your life and humanity in general. many of us take modern sanitation for granted at best and worst, it's an subject to be avoided due to what you know, goes in there. a beverage that with a point goes in there and vanishes like, you know, in math and that's amazing. for the vast majority of humans that have walked the earth, once they've done their business, they were kind of stuck with it. and that's by no means a problem of the past. even today, many people around the world don't have access to adequate sanitation that has dramatic consequences from disease to violence, to a negative impact on the local economy. the market sector itself actually has huge economic potential. the sanitation industry is a multi $1000000000.00 business that goes well beyond the toilets,

into the collection and the treatment of weight and the production of products that can be re integrated into a global supply chain. let's not get ahead of us. so why did it all start me through histories, sanitation, more and less sophisticated, appeared and disappeared repeatedly. the earliest facilities me know, appeared around 5000 years ago in places like today, scotland, crete, and most impressively pockets done in those relatively nation, was living in today's pakistan. they actually had water closer in their own houses, and the water supply entered also each each house so that the stephanie station had watkins any quotation concept, which is quite similar to what we're using today. the 1st major breakthrough in modern lou technology came when sir john harrington invented the flush toilet in

the late 16th century. it was an english poet, a member of the 1st row court, and funny enough esther of game of thrones. after i was ajax device featured and elevated tank, emptied water into a bowl to wash away its contents almost 200 years later in 1775. the trip was patented traps a small amount of water in the drain to prevent sewer gases from rising up. aside from minor updates down the line, this is pretty much how modern slash times work today. you push a button which opens the valve in the tank and the toilet flashes are floating, device lowers, and eventually opens another valve, letting new water flow into the tank. when it's full, you're ready to go again. when the target itself is only have to deal on really change the game is how we dispose of our ways after it's left alone. not too crazy to say that without them the industrial revolution might not really,

as in the mid 18 hundreds, exploding populations and urban ization that to ramp and outbreaks as diseases. in english cities, many diseases spread because drinking water was contaminated with sewage. the 1st person to discover the direct link between human waste and an outbreak was a physician named john snow. no relation. after cholera outbreak ravaged a london neighbourhood in 1854. the proof that several cases had clustered around a single water pump next to assessment, which wasn't a go to solution for waste management in those days. then came the grade. that's not the title for a new pix arsic. it's what londoners called the horrible standards that enveloped the city in the summer of 18. 58 london ways had been dumped directly into the thames for decades. but unusually high temperatures made the fall odor rising from the river and nearly unbearable. this was the final straw and eventually that to

the construction of one of the world's 1st modern switch systems. when the industrial revolution started elsewhere, modern sanitation came with it. but it was so many other privileges of the world. they had to create the colonized peoples did not get their fair share. they are currently 2400000000 people in the world without improve sanitation, without sanitation facilities in their home or workplace. and there's 4500000000 people. over half the world's population that don't have safely managed annotation systems from the toilet all the way to the treatment of the way. this creates a huge problem and then developing world where then people and they don't have a toilet our data, keating in the open. this sanitation crisis causes several serious issues. chief among them, risks to health back of access to adequate sanitation contributes to the transmission of diseases and viral outbreaks was in west africa during the. ready during the

epidemic in 2014 and 15. so 1st time the importance of these basic facilities according 282019 report by the world health organization. inadequate sanitation is estimated to cost $432000.00 deaths due to diarrhea annually open this occasion also puts people at risk of becoming victims of violence, especially women. they face a higher risk of being sexually assaulted and these issues also have long term, not. it stopped skills, for example, i'm going to school. if they can't safely and hygienists will go to the toilet when they menstruating, then they may not go to school and that often happens. being unable to attend school makes it much harder to earn a living later on, let alone escape poverty. to tackle the issue wholesale shopping centers, putting john been running into the sunset, they support communities,

education and finances to pick start sanitation, economy the toilet board coalition and came up with the sanitation economy approach in 2017. and it's made up to 3 distinct areas to vastly oversimplify by combining a marketplace for toilet related goods and services with a marketplace 1st annotation and a data driven sanitation infrastructure communities can establish a growing, self sustaining economy in order to facilitate a transition from thinking about sanitation, the cost to thinking about it as a business opportunity. we've worked with the asian development bank and world bank to understand the economic potential of a driving sanitation economy marketplace. so we looked 1st and foremost that india as an example. and what we found is that there's a market opportunity of $97000000000.00 us dollars in 2. 1, allow me another big aspect of the future sanitation economy is innovation.

so this on taking crisis is multifaceted and there are many solutions that need policy and financial interventions, but also when the technology is needed, relatively speaking, since the great thing, not all that much has changed and how we handle sanitation. but another pressing global issue is pushing activists and scientists to rethink the status quo climate change climate change if this can be even more challenging for sun attention. because for example, if flooding increases, them when people are relying on on site connotation, or pivoting love can walk out the contents of pit latrina was the ones in the state . well, who they're going to call a help? posit blood losses can destroy the water pipes and other infrastructure. if there's droughts, then people might not have enough water. water, sewage systems. while climate change exacerbates the issues of honorable sanitation

infrastructure, outdated sanitation systems in many developed countries, a worsening the effects of climate change. flushing the toilet accounts for some 30 percent of a person's average daily drinking water consumption. older tides use up to 14 leaders of water per flush, even though 3 leaders might be plenty depending on what needs to go down the drain in 2011 the 1000000 and again foundation initiated the reinvent tyler turns it awarded grands to researchers to develop sustainable tal technology that could function without connections to the public sewage systems. teams, a doubts, university of technology, for example, are using the grant to work on a water saving toilet system that employs microwave technology to transform human ways into electricity credentialed university in the you. k, use the finance, the development of the nano membrane toilet the concrete human waste. without any external energy or water,

the tunnel relies mechanism activated by the pull of lever and vaporize ation. after vaporizing the ways the liquids are filtered through a special membrane. sorry, crap recap. the time has shown to history for centuries and continues to so many, many people around the world need was and we all knew it. so next time to take for your bus man, just call mom and reflect the monumental acts of angel prize, ingenuity and abuse here about an impossible to do what she has afterward. throughout the pandemic, many of us have got used to the idea of working remotely. after all, the less we come in contact with each other, the less chance we have spending the buyers. but what about health care itself? before cove 19 turned our lives upside down?

the trend towards tele medicine was already developing. not every ailment requires and in person visits, the doctor, the crisis is only served to increase our appetite for digital consultations. oh, i need to see a dermatologist. it's short notice. except the next available appointment is in fairmont time. but then you discover a doctor offering online consultation after entering a few personal details on her website, i find myself talking to her just a few minutes later. yeah, i have so i need to type. yeah, my hands have been really, really dry for quite a long time now. and the, it's a bit to talk mindful. pushing your hands more frequently might have impaired. your skin is natural protective barrier. this can lead to a kind of eczema. so the 1st thing you need to do is apply hand claim a lot more often. the online consultation costs $30.00 euros. i consider

that are price worth paying if i had a problem i was concerned about, as i get help quickly and easily. in many cases we can look at the patient to make an assessment based on the severity and extent of the problem. and then also determine the degree of urgency. of course, that's no substitute for personal contact. you still need doctors surgeries for physical checking or for certain technical equipment needed for a more precise diagnose. this would be the reason being, i never get the video consultation serves as a preliminary finding for diseases. whereas visual check by the doctor is enough. this form of tele, medical treatment has only been permitted in germany since 2019 in the corona, virus era, patients are happy for the opportunity to save time and avoid risk of infection and demand to store like so many other areas of life. medical care is now also becoming

digitalized. people with chronic conditions can, for example, have their blood pressure monitor remotely. my stanford clinic next door to health care management expert in the philly unkind thing, says patients in germany have become increasingly receptive to the concept of telemedicine. this is linda, greater willingness among investors to provide funding that enables young companies to acquire new technology's. gotten on can bit of a lot of firms in germany, of insufficient funding. i didn't know, but i especially the case would start to laugh and that's no changing in some areas . we're seeing many parts of the health sector getting a lot more capital isn't not unable to, to catch up with the u. s. for example, if all our companies now have a better setup all round up with competent team so they can develop a broader scope of phone calls. when done on my provider. and to conclude the digital doom has benefited and given birth to a lot of startups. swedish company crew has developed

a digital health that allows users to consult with a doctor, lives after registering on line patients. answer a series of questions about their symptoms and can then request an appointment. the cruise network now extends to 900 doctors across europe, covering all manner of medical conditions. infect, combined with infection and bacterial infections, headaches, many different types of pain, diarrhea, and vomiting i infections. everything that normally a general practitioner would deal with short notice which based on the line that tried putting your head down so that your chin meets your chest. that painful? yes, yes, i feel it on the right side of my head where the pain is the services available in scandinavia, france, britain, and now in germany too. it's dr. speak a range of different languages. in germany,

consultations are offered in german or english prescriptions, sick notes and referrals are all issued electronically. but doesn't that raise data privacy concern? discover, feel a lot of hand off. a lot of people will have questions because it's also new. club is also an updated privacy concerns are always great when it comes to health matters and then we're seeing people getting used to it pretty quickly. and they know that it works on the doctors who have tele medical treatment training are able to find out a lot by asking the patient questions. and also digital applications are now common place in the healthcare world. in addition to remote consultations, they now also enable after care for acute and chronic diseases, ordering medication, compiling patient data, and even psychotherapy services. ah, when it comes to serious life threatening conditions, there is no substitute for

a proper visit to the doctor. but telemedicine can offer supplementary health, and in germany, for example, health insurance companies now cover both types of treatment. you can say telemedicine, remote working with a catch with fewer reasons, to go out, you're moving a whole lot less. but that's where self motivation comes into play, and i'd much rather go for a jog than sit on the track, train or bus to the doctors. just ask all of clear the yeah. here we go. i'm so it's 40 doing a good warming up. it's really important stretching very important because going to action. it's warming enough. the neighbors see me that me the pin them mean as many of us aren't commuting to

ah, was the you go be on the, on the as we take on the world, we're all about stories that matter to the whatever it takes at least month following up on fire made for mines the news. it's an ongoing quest for it that the future in the spring began in 2011. the people stood up against what's rulers dictatorship. all these moments
